    I was thick as fuck when i was little !

    Couldnt read or write up to a certain age end even then if it wasnt for my aunty being a teacher i probs would of stayed like that for a long long time !

    With her being a teacher i used to have read about 10 books a night from that age group for a period of time, if i didnt read 10 or so a night id have to read double the next night - same goes for writing !

    Suppose its worked really :D

    *looks at spelling etc*

    Choose ur own adventure books were class. As were the Knightmare books!

    Roald Dahl was :king: tho. BFG was probably best. The Twits was good too.

    Chronicles of Narnia and Point Horror as well!

    First ever book at school was called 'Look'. It just had the word 'look' on every page! :spangled:
